If you are getting back a substantial amount, you are not handling your withholding correctly, why let uncle sam have that money for a year? Pay less, and cut it close, I would rather write a check to IRS on 4/15 for a few grand, then have them hold on to my few grand, thats is money you could be putting to work.

I don't disagree in that fundamentally you are correct.

However, not knowing his situation or risk tolerance, we shouldn't judge. Some people need to comfort of knowing that they don't owe in order to feel ok with things. Others have variable comps...in this case owning a business which is likely an s corp or an llc and therefore profits and losses flow directly to his 1040. Unless he or his accountant update numbers quarterly and make proper installment payments based on real performance then it is not as easy to manage as it is for the regular salary employee.

I agree with you. With the pay raise and tax raise on my house it was a lot higher than I would have expected for a return. Looks like I will have to adjust for this coming year.

I love how we get a huge media deal made out of these massive storms that never produce anything but an inch or two of snow. And then today which is forecasted as 40% chance, noboday says a damn thing and I wake up to 6 inches of it in my driveway.
